They are not all losers and many have skills they bring with them. You sound heartless with a 'I'm ok Jack - F the rest' . Your ostrich approach to life is abysmal >>>> Quote:...... 'nothing to do with us' !! Well Hitler had nothing to do with me BUT I hate him and his memory. If you live in Thailand at the moment, and you are OK with a change in the balance of the population to Chinese well 'up to you'. You'd change your mind if 9/10 of your condo building became Chinese. The illegal immigrants that are coming to Britain from France aren't refugees, they are economic migrants who should be sent back to France asap. Brigante7.

Shocked farang Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 On 4/27/2022 at 1:35 AM, Mr Meeseeks said: Like many African countries, you need a yellow vaccine passport to enter, showing the required vaccination. Previously these were Yellow Fever and Influenza for most West African countries. Possibly, I have used one of those to enter Africa showing proof of Yellow Fever and Influenza vaccines for over 25 years. Thailand still requires Yellow fever vaccination proof for holders of many passports (mostly tropical countries with active cases of Yellow fever).

I'm not going to get 3 jabs to get back in. I believe the requirements to have a vax passport to get in will be dropped eventually when they discover people aren't flocking to Thailand in the numbers they predicted.

As it stands today - that's not what these are. A vaccine is simply a medical product that introduces antigens from a disease-causing pathogen into a person's body and stimulates that person's immune system to produce both humoral and cellular responses able to combat that pathogen should the person be exposed to it in future. All currently-approved Covid vaccines do this, so they are all real vaccines. Edited May 8, 2022 by GroveHillWanderer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas every person I know who caught Covid after being vaccinated (including myself) suffered either very minor symptoms or none at all. For instance, the only reason my daughter and brother (both fully vaccinated) knew they had Covid was because they had to have regular tests for work. I don't know anyone who had the vaccine and then suffered bad Covid symptoms on getting the virus. So does my anecdotal evidence trump your anecdotal evidence?

"Sorry you no come Thailand". Morons. This person will have higher immunity (from serious illness) than a person who has had 3 jabs. Where are you getting this from? A vaccinated person who has also had Covid is not prevented from coming back to Thailand. The only requirements I can see for a fully vaccinated person to enter, using the Thailand Pass system are a valid passport, vaccination certificate and $10,000 dollars-worth of insurance.

This is where I got it from. The OP. But the idea that 3 jabs would be required was clearly just a piece of speculation and never made any sense. No-one in the world is using that to mean fully vaccinated and Thailand doesn't either. In fact the very first response in this thread, pointed that out. Anyway, you only had to look at any official government website with an announcement of the policy as of May 1 to see that fully vaccinated means having had two doses of a vaccine recognised by the MOPH (or one if you got the J&J vaccine). Here is some wording from the MFA website's Thailand Pass info page, for instance: Quote Thailand fully recognizes mixed vaccination. However, your second dose needs to be administered based on the recommended timeframe for each vaccine type Thailand Pass FAQ's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigante7. So your "evidence" is based on a very small sample, i.e. people you know. My own small sample of people I know completely contradicts your conclusion. I'll stick to studies that use large sample sizes and sound statistical methodologies. By the way, there's no particular need when you refer to the vaccine to put it in quotation marks.
